Grapevine Restaurants

Grapevine has more than 150 restaurants within the city, offering every kind of food your heart desires. Here are some favorites:

Big Daddy's Ship Store This is a regular breakfast stop for one of the National Champs! Great for burgers, breakfast, sandwiches and steaks.It is at the end of the pier and you can eat outside. They also have soft drinks and ice for your races. Good place to hang out before and after the races and tell your buddies who did what to whom on the course. Word is it's bugged, so no complaining about the organizing committee here! Located at Scott's Landing Marina on Grapevine Lake
2500 Oak Grove Park - 817.481.1237

Cafe Italia is a favorite of Grapevine sailors. Bring your own wine or beer (since they do not serve) and you can have a nice dinner for $14 or so. But be warned, we serve this on Friday at the award dinner. Cafe Italia has two locations.
Near the lake: 505 W. Northwest Hwy - 817.251.0100
On Highway 26: 2631 Ira E Woods Ave - 817.251.0999

Ravioli I haven't been here in a while but it is an old time Italian restaurant. I do not remember if it is BYOB or not.

Willhoite's Restaurant If you own a motorcycle and a Catalina, then this is the bar for you. Located in a historic 1914 building that was once Grapevine's first automotive gas station, this eclectic bar features a garage-like atmosphere and serves a Texas sized buffet, a never ending salad bar, and a variety of drinks at the fully stocked bar.

Tolbert's Restaurant Serves Texas and Southwestern cuisine.

Mimi's Café Serves home style meals and all come with a muffin. Save it for a snack in between races.

Southlake Restaurants

Southlake Tavern Nice bar and my favorite hangout. Appetizers are half price during happy hours; wine and beer is $3 and margaritas $2. Try the Blue Moon microbrew. The Tuna Nachos and crab cakes are to die for, they are about $4.50 during happy hour and make a meal in itself. The good news is that happy hour is from 2-7 PM and 9-11 PM and 12-7 on Saturday.
